Can stress have an impact on the way a body handles a vaccine

Can stress have an impact on the way a body handles a vaccine?

Maybe reducing antibodies or increasing risk of clots?

I know someone who was due to get a vaccine. Unfortunately there's trouble in her life with a person suspected with a cluster B personality. That person with the suspected cluster B made a dirty, rotten move against the other person. Now I am thinking if it was somewhat intentional to create an increase for clots/death. Does that make sense.

No, makes no sense.

No, definitely not in terms of increasing the chance of something like a blood clot, CVST or death. Your friend shouldn't worry about that Flowers

In a kind of academic discussion sense, being under extreme stress has been shown to have an immunosuppressive effect (i.e, you're more likely to catch a cold etc if you're very run down) but emotional stress in the short term is really unlikely to translate into a poorer antibody response to a vaccine.

No it wont make a difference, its getting into quite magical and distorted thinking to imagine that someone else's behaviour can have such an impact on the way a vaccine would affect you.

Confused.
